The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
FAQs for Bower Heath
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Bower Heath
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
